Port Perry Fair Winners The Ontario County Hol- stein show, always a major event, surpassed its advance billing as 126 head were shown by 33 exhibitors at Port Perry Fair on Labour Day Monday. This show has always been of high qVality and this year there were more animals to heighten interest. Judge Earl Woodrow, Beeton, scattered the win- nings well. His choice for Best Udder honour was Theynor Hagen Cindy, owned by T. Robert Flett, Oshawa. She was judged the best uddered Holstein at the Ontario Spring Show in May of this year and was Grand Champion female at the re- cent Canadian National Ex- hibition. Cindy was true to form as she led a class of ten four-year-olds, showing pow- er and good constitution and an outstanding udder. She had plenty of competition from the class of thirteen aged cows among which were four animals classified Excel- lent for type. Since one cow in 500 is classified Excel- lent, Judge Earl Woodrow had a tough decision. His winner for the aged cow class and eventual Reserve Grand Champion was Werrcroft Model -Susan, owned by Werrcroft Farms Ltd., Osha- ea. Susan, who was classi- fied only a few days prior to the fair, was praised by Judge Woodrow for her balance, dairy quality, and good legs. She was also runner-up for best udder award. Roybrook Farm, Brooklin was Premier Breeder at the show. His winnings included the first prize three-year-old Roybrook Sparkle, and fourth prize aged cow, Roy- brook Kerk. Winning the Premier Exhibitor honour was Elmcroft Holsteins, Bea- verton. One of their class winners included Elmcroft Ideal Sheila, leading the three and four-year-old dry cow class. Sheila was All- Canadian two-year-old last year. The only animal shown by George Irwin, Sunderland, proved to be the Champion bull. Armalea Dispatcher, a son of Paclamar Bootmaker, is a very dairy individual exhibiting cleanliness in his front end. Classmate and Reserve Champion, Ridge- Field Anthony Emperor shown by Elmcroft Holsteins, is an upstanding bull with a strong topline. He is sired by Downalane Reflection Emper- or. T. Robert Flett also owned the Junior Champion female of the show. Flett- dale Starlet Stella, who placed first in the .junior yearling heifer class is a deep bodied; strong topped heifer wb The government is discriminating against a typist at Queen's Park. The provincial government, her employer, passed a veryrepressive law that deprives her of some basic rights. lt's called CECBA (Crown Employees Collective Bargaining Act). It restricts the freedom of government employees to bargain collectively for improved benefits and working conditions. It forces us to abide by a stacked arbitration board on which the government has two out of three appointees. It denies us basic rights that other public employees enjoy. So a Queen's Park typist is worse off than, say, a typist at Ontario Hydro. We're falling behind others and we're falling behind inflation. We want this unfair law changed. We just want the same rights as other workers. That typist at Queen's Park is just one of 60,000 Ontario Crown Employees. And that's an awful lot of discrimination. Free the se Civil Service Association of Ontario sired by Roybrook .Telstar. She also placed first in her class at the C.N.E. this year. Judge Woodrow stayed with his junior yearlings as he picked second prize Laurenda Admirai Belle owned by H. E. Paisley & Sons, Stouff- ville, for Reserve Junior Champion honours. Belle, who is sired by Enghill Perseus Admirai, was noted for her balance and desirable length of neck. For the third consecutive year, T. Robert Flett won the Armour McMillan Trophv for the animal placing within the top three in her class and having the highest composite Breed Class Average produc- tion. Langsons Sandra Lucky turned the trick as she won the aged dry côw class and has a completed record of 22,352 lbs. milk testing 4.26% butterfat with 953 lbs. fat, for BCA's of 203% milk and 236% fat. Other class winners of the day included Werrcroft Farms Ltd., Oshawa with the top Breeder's Herd Frank Barkey, Claremont winning the senior yearling class with Altona Le4 Chief- tain Dotty; Progeny of Dam class with offspring of Altona Lea Request; and the heifer calf class with Altona Lea Ned Kerk. Clarence Wilson, Uxbridge, showed a daughter of Roybrook Starlight to first place in the class for two-year-old heifers. Neil Raines, Sunderland, picked up a red ribbon in the senior bull calf class with Raivue Citation, while Smith Bros., Port Perry, had the winning junior bull calf, High Point Mark. The show was well attend- ed by interested Holstein breeders. Ontario County Dairy Princess, Carolyn Rob- ertson awarded the ribbons.
